tails have been received concerning the
shooting incident on the Franco German

and tOur heaters were following the path
of the French territory seven yards from
the frontier when a person standing be-
hind a clump of trees on the German
side, eighty yards from the frontier, fired
three shots at them. The first bullet did
not hit any one, but the second killed one
of the beaters named Brignon, and the
third shot severely wounded a gentle
man named Wanger. The German off
Gals declare that a German soldier named
Kaufman. who was detailed to assist the
forest guards in preventing poaching,
fired the shots. Kaufman affirms that
he shouted three times for the party TO
stop before firing at them. He believed
they were on German territory. The
sportsmen declare hat they heard moth

i" ALIDOR."

1t is natural that the people of st.
Paul should manifest . degree of inter
est III the forthcoming product:2n OF the
new lyric onera. ''Alidor." The COLI
poser OF the music is resident of this
city, and the opera will be produced
under his management. With the eX-
ceptiOn of the principals in the cast, all
of the persons who will participate in
its initial production de also residents
of this city. In consequence Of these
facts our people are expected to nave
some pride in the success of the opera.
The libretto of ''Alidor" was written by
Hon. CHARLES ANDERSON, OF Cincin-
natl. Unfortunately the literary part
OF the opera is not equal in its merit to
the musical. But that is not a matter
of so much consequence III opera, where
the success depends almost entirely upon
its merit as musical composition.
'Alidor" is in two acts, the
scene of the first being laid in
saloon of Prince ALIDOR'S palace
and the second in an open country. 1t
gives opportunity for fine casting, and a
production of those scenic effects which
are so essential to performances of this
character. The plot involves the usual
romantic features. Prince ALIDoR, in
disguise as shepherd, wins the love of
the Lady ALICE, who is also disguised
in rustic costume. While the libretto is
not literary composition of the highest
order, still it is clever construction,
and affords an appropriate framework
for Interviewing some most charming
music. The musical feature of the
opera is pronounced by competent crit
les to be not only complete success,
but it is confidently predicted by many
that its production will create sensa-
ton in the musical world. Elsewhere
in this issue of the GLOBE will be found
a complete list of the names of those
who will contribute to ''Alidor's'' initial
production.

PERFECT HARMONY.

1t is perfectly apparent by this time
that the CLEVELAND administration is
in harmony with itself on the public
land question. The stories which have
heretofore been circulated with regard
to the discorll in the land bureau had no
foundation in fact. The attempt to
create the impression that Commissioner
SPARKS and Secretary LAMAR were at
lOggerheadS, and that the president was
not in accord with either of his subOrdi-
mates, has come to naught. So far from
there being discordant condition of
affairs on this vital question. no admin
iStration ever enjoyed more harmonious
condition than exist between the preSi-
dent, the secretary of the interior and
the commissioner of public lands. There
is thorough understanding between
them, and they act in concert and with the
utmost harmony, The policy of the adj
miniStration, as formulated in the
GUILFORD-MIILER case, is in exact ac-
cord with the platform upon which Mr..
CLEVELAND was elected. His declara-
ton that the rights of the honest settler
shall be respected is the proper doctrine
That is what the people of this country
have been wanting to hear. 1t is what
the Democratic party in national con-
vention assembled promised should be
done if the Democratic party was en-
trusted with power. The president is
making an honest effort to keep that
promise, and he can rely upon the people
to sustain him.

COSTLY VICTORIA.

When it is learned that VICTORIA has
during her reign cost the taxpayers of
Great Britain something like hundred
million OF dollars and the members of
her family have added as much more to
the expense account, it will be seen
that the British people are paying rather
dearly for their royal figurelead. AS
governing force VICTORIA is ell

social factor she may be, she is of no

The queen dare not act contrary to the

approving machine manipulated by the
ministers. 1t is an outrage that the
people should have for so long been
ground down by oppressive taxes to
maintain, cut of reverence for ancient
institutions, this costly monarcllaI dis
play, useless as it is ostentatious, and
there is growing sentiment against its
continuance. The taxpayers are be-

THE DEVIL AND THE MONK.

StPan G Legend Attached.

The Royal library at Stockholm con-
tains remarkable literary curiosity
called the devils code, which is said to
be the largest manuscript in the world.
Every letter of this gigantic piece of
work is as beautifully formed as if it
were infinitely and carefully drawn, and
it seems almost impossible that it should
have been done by single human be-
ing, says the Pail Mall Gazette. The
DEVILS code was brought to Sweden
from Prague after the Thirty Years
War, and the Drutsche Hausfraucn
Zcitung tells the following story OF its
origin:
A poor monk. who had been con-
dcmncd TO death, was told that his sen
tence would be committed il he were
able TO copy the whole of the code in
a single night. Relying on the iinpossi-
bility of the task, his Judges furnished
him with the original, pen and ink, and
left him in his well-barred prison.

A HOLsTEIN VICTORY.

1t will be of interest to Minnesota
dairymen and live stock breeders to
know that at the recent Madison Square
Dairy exhibit in New York city the
HolStein cows took all the prizes in
both the milk and butter competition.
The Jersey was there in full force. but
somehow the dainty little mixer didn't
have the ghost of a chance in competition
with her Dutch rival. If the contest was
fair one, and there is nothing to indicate
that it was not. it takes the laurel wreath
from the horns of the Jersey which she
has worn so long as the champion milch
COW of the world. The jerseys failure
i'll the Madison Square contest is at
tributed by her friends to the timid
nature of the animal. Her extreme
nervous sensitiveness threw her into a
panicy condition when brought away
from the sweet clover field of her rustic
retreat into the hustle of the noisy me-
tropolis. She was frightened out of her
milk, SO to speak, while the more evenly
tempered Hoistein COW took a more
philosophical view of affairs, and took
pride in letting down the last drop of
Tactical fluid that could be squeezed from
her udder.

FLoRENA BUDwIS

Who is the woman who lies there
among the dead soldiers, and how came
she there? The record of her case on
the books of the cemetery is very brief,
and gives but little information. 1t is
to the effect that FlOrena Baldwin, of
Philadelphia. died at Florence, S. c.,
Jan. %. 1866, aged 20. and she was
the wife of Capt. Budwin, who was
at AnderSoHville, Ga. Nothing more.
was prisoner of war at the time of her
death; that. disguised in the uniform of
a private soldier, she enlisted and fol-
lowed her husband into the army, and
was captured blythe ConfederateS; that
she died in childbirth, and that up to
the time of being taken sick her sex was
not suspected by her captOrS, nor. as far
as was known. by her comrades in
prison. She is assigned to no regiment
i'll the record book. and nothing seems to
be known of Capt. BudWin except the
facts of his rank and death, and these
were probably obtained from the poor
woman herself before she died. 1t
would be interesting to have some ac-
count of him, to what command he be-
longed. where he was from, and what
were the circumstances of his unfor-
tunate wife'S enlistment III the army
and her subsequent career therein.
There are some things that would
seem to corroborate what is told of Mrs.
Buidwin. About a mile distant from
the Soldiers cemetery, where she is
buried, there was during the late civil
war a stOckade in which Federal
prisoners of war were confined and
guarded. Its site and the earthwOrks
about are still well defined. In this
Stockade Mrs. Budwin was imprisoned,
and the date of her death shows that
she died some time before the war was
ended. When Sherman was advancing
Though South Carolina the Confederate
records of this prison were sent TO Rich

to have been destroyed IN that city in
the great conflagration that enSued upon
the evacuation by the ConfGderateS.
Mrs. Budwin'S story rests for the pres
ent upon the testimony of persons some,
at least, of whom were residents of and
on duty in Florence when she died
there.
The cemetery wherein is her lonely

THE GLOBES RECEPTION.

From until 10 o'clock last evening a
constant stream of visitors thronged the
new GLOBE building in response
to the invitation extended to the
public to come and see how a metro
politan paper is made, and what kind of
home the leading paper of the North
west lives ill.,. The members of the re-
ception committee were kept busy
answering the questions of the curious,
and it is safe to say that not one of the
guests departed without better idea of
the way their favorite paper is made
ready each morning for their inspection.
From basement to roof the new GLOBE
building was thoroughly examined, and
from type-setting to printing the differ
ent processes of getting out daily
paper were viewed. The GLOBE takes
much pleasure in welcoming its friends
at this weekly reception, and hopes that
on next Saturday. evening even more of
them will avail themselves of an OPP
portunity that is not often thrown open
to the general public. Make up party
of your friends and Join the throng on

OPEN CARS.

Although the reasons Mr.. BARCLAY
urges in behalf of his scheme to have
separate ears put on the street railway
lines for the accommodation of working
men may not receive public approba-
ton, still there are other reasons why
the Workingmen should be glad TO see
the suggestion adopted. There is no
reason why the laborer should not be
entitled TO the privilege of a street car
ride as well as the kid-gloved dude.
The nickel which the laboring man
pays for his street car fare has been
honestl; earned. 1t will strike the av-
erage person that the attempt to draw
caste lines in street railway coach is
about as absurd thing as could he
suggested i'll these days of social and
political equality. The absurdity of
the proposition is SO glaring that the
matter would not be referred to at all
except that it is accompanied with
another proposition. The other propo-
SltIon is that the separate coaches
which are to be provided for the ac-
commodation of the workingmen shall
be open cars. There is good sense in
that suggestion. And while it is
conceded that the laboring classes
are entitled to the enjoyment of
equal privileges, it is wonder
that the advocates of the separate car
proposition should vast to give the
labOrerS the exclusive benefit of the
open ears. Why wouldn't it be a good
scheme to have all open cars in the
summer time. None of the benefits
which the good Lord has shOwered upon
this earth is more gratefully appreciated
by mankind in general than pure, fresh
air. 1t makes no difference whether it
is the fine lady or gentleman dressed out
III Sunday gO-to-meeting clothes, or
whether it is the poor workingman in
his hickory shirt and with his dinner
pail on his arm, when it becomes a ques-
ton of the enjoyment Of pure air they
are all on an equality. If the open cars
were put on for the exclusive accommo-
dation of the laboring people, it would
not be long until they would be crowded
out of them by the swell classes. The
open car suggestion is good one, but
let it be for the benefit of all.
